Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has been used for nearly 50 years to bring life back to those suffering from addiction to opioids such as heroin, oxycontin, hydromorphone, fentanyl, morphine, opium, etc.

Buprenorphine treatment provides an alternative to methadone maintenance treatment. Maintenance treatment with buprenorphine (or methadone), has been shown to be far more effective than detoxification in the treatment of dependence/addiction to opiods such as heroin, oxycontin, hydromorphone, fentanyl, morphine, etc.

For those patients that wish to wish to switch from methadone to suboxone treatment, or vice versa, we provide this service. Both medications are effective for helping addiction to opioids, but sometimes a switch is necessary or preferred.

While the maintenance treatment with methadone or suboxone is very effective in helping patients get over their dependence and addiction to opioids, there are patients that for various reasons wish to get off the program. Our expert physicians can help with this delicate process.
